FIT file decoder

fit

The FIT protocol is used by many sport and fitness devices made by companies like Garmin, for example running watches and bike computers. fit provides an API for parsing these files for analysis or conversion.

Currently this package is a pretty low-level effort, and you'll need to be familiar with FIT to get much value from it. Specifically, the notion of the FIT "profile" is ignored entirely, so to make use of the decoded file you'll need to reference the "Profile.xls" spreadsheet in the FIT SDK.

The Fit module exports a convenient set of data types for examining FIT files, as well as some lenses for extracting specific data. It's intended that the API in the Fit module should be sufficient and convenient for most uses, but if you need access to the exact structure of the file you can use the data types in Fit.Internal.FitFile and parsers in Fit.Internal.Parse.

Example

Given a FIT file named "file.fit", here's how you could extract all of the "speed" fields from all of the "record" messages using the lenses in the Messages API. Looking at the FIT Profile.xls file, you can see that the message number for "record" is 20, and within a record the field number for "speed" is 6. In a GHCi session:

Right fit <- readFileMessages "file.fit"
let speeds = fit ^.. message 20 . field 6 . int

Now speeds :: [Int] is a list of the speed recordings from your activity.
